穆桂英掛帥肚兜 Dudou-apron with operatic figure
19世紀末至20世紀初 Late 19th century to early 20th century
《穆桂英掛帥》是戲曲《楊門女將》中的一齣折子戲，描述楊門女將穆桂英為保國家安定，馳赴戰場作戰。
這件紅肚兜繡有城門外騎着桃花馬的穆桂英，她眼望前方，毅然出征；其坐騎下有一置身於波濤中的童子與魚，寓意貴子有餘。
"Mu Guiying guashuai" Mu Guiying takes command is an episode of the opera "Yangmen nujiang"（Women warriors of the Yang Family）. It tells of the legendary woman warrior Mu Guiying of the Yang family going to a battle for the sake of maintaining the stability of her country.
This dudou of red colour is embroidered with Mu Guiying riding her "peach blossom" horse （a white horse with red spots） outside the city gate.
She is portrayed as gazing ahead, ready to set off for the expedition. The boy and the fish in the waves under the horse form the rebus guizi youyu, "having a noble son and （abundant） surplus".
